There's a difference, now, though:
Humankind's doing its "mitosis" thing.
Humankind is dividing-by-alignment.
That only happens 1x per world, ttbomk.
( after the original Industrial Revolution, the Roman Empire, then the "seedling" that that was, in our world eventually grew into a "sapling", the official Industrial Revolutions-sequence..
then, as population reaches ecological-saturation & technology simultaneously reaches world-breaking power, ClimatePunctuation kicks-in..
etc
all eventually enforce The Great Filter.
& in that Great Filter, alignment polarizes.
Anti-Life polarization & With-Life polarization.
Every world of people-similar-to-our-kind would have to go through it, same as "puberty", but for whole-species )
As the process progresses, the polarization is going to become more & more extreme.
So, until now we've been mixtures, every individual ( with few exceptions ), but .. that's going to be changing, until there's zero mixture left, & everybody ( near the end of this century ) is absolutely-polarized, 1 way or the other.
